I’ve tried to push the envelope for a fun apple challah recipe for the holidays! Adding pomegranates takes it over.the.edge! I may have had to break into it to taste! Yum! Yum! With a drizzle of extra honey, what could be better?
Feel free to use your favorite challah dough recipes – egg, water, whole wheat, or even store bought frozen. What I love about this recipe is it’s ease! I’m now working very fulltime, with a long commute to boot (and loving it all!). Baking challah weekly isn’t something I haven’t been able to work into the schedule, unfortunately! So when I was introduced to a new item on the market, Viola! Hallah! I couldn’t have been more excited! Little mess, little fuss, great results!
- Challah dough
- 1 apple, peeled and diced smalled
- ½ teaspoon of cinnamon
- ½ cup pomegranate seeds
- egg white or honey
- Sprinkle cinnamon on the diced apples and add pomegranates. If you have a hard time finding pomegranates, go ahead and use pomegranate flavored craisins!
- Roll challah dough into a long and thin strip. You can either use a rolling pin, or your finger tips!
- Add the apple and pomegranate mixture all over the dough. Along the long side of the dough, pinch the edges so the mixture is enclosed.
- Roll the dough into a round challah, place into a round tin, or on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
- Brush with egg white and bake for 25 minutes, until golden brown.
- While warm, drizzle with honey and enjoy!

So excited to try your recipe! So creative!
I love that the challah incorporates all the sweet Rosh Hashanah simanim!
